The dimensions shown are average values for tires measured on specified measuring rim width. Individual tires may vary from data shown.2. Section width varies approximately 0.2" (5mm) for every 0.5" change in rim width.WARNING: Serious or fatal injury may result from tire failure due to underinflation or overloading. To ensure correct air pressure and vehicle load, refer to vehicle owner’s manualor tire information placard on the vehicle. Serious injury or death may result from explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting. Only tire professionals should mounttires, and they should never inflate beyond 40 psi to seat the beads. Before mixing types of tires in any configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle owner’s manualfor its recommendations.DANGER: Never mount a 16" diameter tire on a 16.5" rim.Inflation pressure increase must not exceed the maximum pressure branded on the tire sidewall. When a customer requests a replacement tire with a lower speed rating than theoriginal equipment tire, you must clearly communicate to him or her that the handling of the vehicle may be different, and that its maximum speed capability is limited to that ofthe lowest speed-rated tire on the vehicle. Exceeding the lawful speed limit is neither recommended nor endorsed.For high-speed driving, additional inflation pressure and possibly reduced tire loading and/or upsizing is required. In the absence of specific recommendations by the vehiclemanufacturer, use the following guidelines based on those in the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization Standards Manual.For speeds over 160 km/h (100 mph), load and inflation must be adjusted according to the table below.H-Speed Rated Sizes:Maximum Speed (mph) 100 106 112 118 124 130Inflation Increase (psi) 0.0 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0Load Capacity (% of max.) 100 100 100 100 100 100V-Speed Rated Sizes:Maximum Speed (mph) 100 106 112 118 124 130 136 143 149Inflation Increase (psi) 0 1 2 3 4 5 5 5 5Load Capacity (% of max) 100 100 100 100 100 100 97 94 91Luxury Performance TouringUTQG RatingTreadwear 340Traction ATemperature A
